I’m so glad I’m not growing up in this age of smartphones, social media, and bullshit generators. Life was hell enough in the 90s without all that noise.

    Definitely not. I know my 14 year old 4chan dwelling ass would have known about this before 99.99% of the population.

    Don’t overestimate teenage innocence, this problem is very much in the public sphere I doubt many teens don’t know about this technology already.

      See but us preteen 4channers make up a minority of the population. My little clan of nerds in a midwestern high school was easily less than 10% of the students.

        It’s how info flows though. Your small group of nerds knows, but one of those nerds is good buddys with a football player and tells them. Now they know, they create ai porn of a chearleader, and now everyone knows.
